I'm Moving to Guinea Bissau!!

So I was reading this article on CNN.com about the women in Guinea Bissau. Apparently, since Guinea Bissau is a matriarchal society, it's the women who choose who they want to marry, not the men.

The woman makes a fish dish which she offers to the man. Once the woman presents the fish, the man cannot refuse, so he basically has to take a bite to signify his acquiescence. If he refuses, he'll dishonor his family, so he has to say yes. Hehe. Sounds promising, doesn't it?

After the man eats the fish, the woman begins to build the house where they'll live after they get married.

Hmmm, I tried to see the down side of this whole situation and couldn't...especially after I read that the men keep themselves in shape, learn all kinds of talents, etc. so that they'll attract the women. LOL.

Oh wait, I can't move there...they have lizards. *sigh* But I wonder how hard it is to become a citizen? I could stay here and become a Guinea Bissau citizen; that would give me the right to tell dudes I'm Guinea Bissauan (is that what they're called?), so they know when I make 'em some fish, it's a wrap. LOL.

I can see it now: I make fish for a dude on the third date, he eats it not knowing its significance, and I jump up off the couch screaming, "Yay! We just got engaged!!" LOL. I think I'd do it just to see the look on dude's face.

Who's coming with me?

Email me sometime...
